if romney turns in a strong debate, you hope you have an economy ad that helps governor romney build on any momentum out of the debate. number three, both campaigns and friends, democratic super pakz and republican super pacs have to make tough decisions over the next three weeks, five weeks left in the campaign, but over the next three to four weeks you have to make decisions not only where to spend money and spend more money, but where to take resources out. that's the toughest decision to campaign. not necessarily where to spend, it is where not to spend. when you have a big buy like this, then you poll, you see if you're moving the numbers. and in some of states you'll keep the ads, some states, watch in a week, ask have they pulled out? that will tell you something. >> crunch time indeed, john king, thank you for us in denver. no pressure as millions, millions will be watching tomorrow night's first presidential debate. all comes down to the two men on stage, the public will perceive one of them is the winner as we have seen in history, one line, one line can make all the differ

for romney, too smooth. debating from behind. they talk about obama's weaknesses saying that he has a slow approach, sometimes a stuttering approach and he can be somewhat long-winded. how do you evaluate that. >> i think both of them have strengths and weaknesses. i disagree that some of those are disagree that some are weaknesses and some are strengths. president obama's detachment can be a weakness. sometimes he can come across aloof and detached. detached from what's going on at that moment. both are capable of losing their cool. i've seen it happen with both of them in previous debates. mitt romney actually being from behind can be an advantage for him. the times i've seen him do best is when he is the underdog, when he is on the ropes. i saw him do best, probably his two best debates, suzanne were the florida debates with when newt gingrich had beat him lining a pulp in the south carolina debates a few weeks before. so i think that could actually be an advantage for mitt romney. he seems to be good under pressure. but, you

it doesn't play very well in presidential debates. he'll be debating against mitt romney. mitt is really solid, a very smooth debater. every time the president has a pause, people might think the president doesn't know what he's going to say next. he's not prepared for the question. that's the problem in the debate. >> fine line between pausing so everyone can understand what you're talking about and i suppose pausing too long. >> oh, sure. it is also one of his strengths. he's a very thoughtful person. so if you like him, you'll see the pauses as him being thoughtful. if you don't like him, you'll think he needs a teleprompter. >> mitt romney, we both know debaters from both parties occasionally like to dodge questions. is there an art to do so gracefully, check this out. >> you asked me an entirely different question. >> beats me. don't know. where are we at, john? >> what do you see there? >> that was a disaster. that was south carolina, i believe. he had two terrible debates in south carolina. the only two i said he lost. and he in fact ended up losing that primary to

but mitt romney has done better after the debate and that has now receded a bit. when we look at florida, when we look at ohio, when we look at virginia, if any of his success from last week's debate trickles into the states, this could be a whole new race. so far we haven't seen that. >> john, wouldn't you venture to guess that the closer we get to election time, the national polls, i'm not talking about the swing state polls, the national polls will show a race that's neck and neck? >> sure. absolutely. and, remember, election day is today in many states. there's early voting. this year is different. the only poll that counts isn't just election day, it's what people do before. jason is right to the extent that national polls are a broad barometer. what matters are the swing states. if you want to know what's going on, pay attention to them. i love the way the professional partisans on both sides whenever they see a poll they don't like, they immediately start, you know, calling foul and going to the sample size. they're trying to spin their way out of what the

in the romney debate senator ted kennedy back in 1994. yeah, you're right. we've seen some reporting on this that, you know, mitt romney is doing a lot of preparation on this for this debate. maybe focussing on zingers and one-liners, and also the campaign says what mitt romney really wants to do on wednesday night where the two candidates showed down and show that choice between what mitt romney would do in the white house over the next four years or what president obama would do if re-elected. >> poeshltyly. nine out of the ten key battleground states. now romney has actually -- he has debated almost 20 times in the primary season. how does he actually change people's impression of him? particularly his likability factor. >> and we've seen that he has a little bit of a deficit, yovrl, when it comes to likability, when it comes to his favorable and unfavorable numbers compared to the president in a lot of these polls. yeah, i think part of -- a little bit of what he is going to try to do is show more of the human face, and we've seen him try to do that on t

the president and mitt romney, will the president really go on the offensive unlike the first debate? will he really go after mitt romney on some of these foreign policy issues and the third and final presidential debate is close to the entirely quoted to national security and foreign policy and the next debate, the town hall meeting, that candy crowley will be moderating on domestic issues, other issues presumably somebody once asked a foreign policy question and the third debate strictly foreign policy and as a result romney is preparing for the second, especially the third debate right now and i think the speech that he is delivering today is part of that. in delivering a major foreign policy address like he is today, laying out his vision for the united states around the world during the romney administration, he really has to beef up on a lot of these issues. while he has a lot of experience on domestic economic issues and the social issues and the political issues, his experience in national security and foreign policy is not vast. he has to bone up on this and this is an area w
